Due to the increasing prevalence of the modified year-round school calendars, our next School Health Workshop will take place February 2, 2026. There will not be an event in 2025. We align our date with the Olde English Consortium Professional Development Day. Here is a DRAFT agenda, and we are working to finalize additional speakers and times.
